Cat Sitting in Palatine

“All went very well. Appears my cats were perfectly attended to as expected. I suspect Carl managed things I had forgot to instruct. Will definitely try to rebook Carl on next opportunity.”

“Rebeckah was great with my boy cat Apollo. He can be rather skittish, but she coaxed him out with treats and got him playing with his toys. She also administered his medication and was communicative about all the tiny details. It put my mind at ease and made my heart feel full to know he was so well cared for while I was away.”

“Shannon is a wonderful sitter. My cat has been so at home with her over the two lengthy trips I've been away. She provides good updates and responds quickly to messages. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pet.”

“We have booked Jessica multiple times to do drop in visits on our two cats and she has been reliable and fantastic each time. It’s comforting to have someone to depend on so we know our cats are in good, caring hands!”

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

“Giada was wonderful & took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat doesn’t tend to do well with new people but warmed up to Giada during our meet & greet almost immediately.”

About: I raised Captain, a large Treeing Walker Coonhound until he passed in 2023. There are currently no dogs in the home. I live in a single family home with a large fully fenced in yard. My work hours vary but I am rarely out of the house longer than 3-4 hours. Weekends I am home full time. Weather permitting they will be taken on at least one long walk per day. Dogs have full run of the house and are allowed on furniture. Dogs can run in the fenced in yard but are always supervised when doing so.

“Melanie was great! Super responsive and very reliable. Great communication and clearly an overall dog person.”

Maddy S.

“Melissa did a great job with my two cats! They can be shy with new people, but they warmed up to her on the meet and greet. She spent an hour with them each night and sent great photos of playtime. I hope to hire Melissa for future visits!”

“Erica was great taking care of our cats. She provided timely communication and spent some time with them while we were away. We would definitely use her again!”

About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!

“Alana did the best job ever!! She took great care of our rottie (Buddy). She even took care of my daughter's turtle for her. She is a very responsible person and I would re-hire her in an instant!”

Have experience with dogs such as maltipoo, shitzu, German Shephards, english bull dogs, Labradors, chihuahua etc. I am great with dogs of any size. I will provide overnight stays and day cares and if needed will do any training the dog may need. Hope to meet you all soon! I work from home full time. All dogs get a minimum of 4 walks per day with me. I have access to my back yard that I have leads attaxhed to as well. Not a fenced yard but have leads outside. Pets are allowed on my couch, they can always sleep with me if they like cuddles. I treat them as if they were my own.

“Christina did an awesome job with Bella. She was on time, spent quality time with our dog and went above and beyond. We would definitely hire Christina again.”

About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

“Karina was timely and so sweet to our baby. She made sure to be gentle with her for the first time and showed genuine care for her. We cant wait to book again!”

“Morgan is a very friendly and gentle care giver for our dogs. She is always on time and very patient. I also like that she has tones of experiences in the animal hospital. I’m looking forward to work with Morgan long term and will not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Liz is amazing! We have a very anxious, crazy dog, and he can be tough to get used to. Liz immediately made us feel at ease working with Todd and made sure he had a friend while we were gone. Liz’s communication is also great - she keeps us updated throughout every visit and ensures we are aware of everything that happens with Todd. We have booked Liz many times before, and we will continue to!”

Rob K.

“Last minute request on our part. Super fast response and was available to see them within 3 hours of the booking. Great communication and lots of pictures. Thank you 😊”
